Hi, * Taking medicines/laxatives for constipation is hbbit forming & ineffective after some time. So the laxatives and stool softners are to be used with reservations. * life style changes do control constipation . They are- Eating balanced diet with lots of Fibers ( fruits/vegetables/ salads/ whole grams/sprouts with skins.Avoiding fast food helps. Lots of water /soups/juices/buttermilk through out the day. Drinking a mug of Luke warm water with 1 tea spoon of honey & lemon juice -first thing in the morning. Daily walking for 45 minutes and abdominal exercises for 20 minutes+ yoga for 25 minutes daily. Have 8 hours sound sleep per day. Form regular habit of time for deification. Are to be incorporated in your daily routine.Few conditions like Diabetes, hypothyroidism cause bowel slowing & constipation. They need to be excluded/treated. Thanks
